It is to the interest of shippers to give their re support to this boat. Captain Lee Cumrnins entered the New Orleans trade last summier when we had no boat out of that port, arnd when the wholesale merchants of that city were losing their large and profitable busi I ness by the boats withdfawing from the trade, for the reason, they said, - that they were losing money. In coni- 13C e sequence, this large bends business, 1 controlled by New Orleans, was being j 3, diverted to Mempthis and other cities e The owners of th-ese boats demanded a e bonus of $500 a week, and went to the h bank because the merchants refused , to pay it. t. Ca. Cunmmins went be Sfore them and offered to place a boat - in tie trade, arnd all he asked was their II Sulport, which they promised to give, -and tlguaranteed him Ithat they woul M e not only support his boat, but wotull t br'lp him in every way possible. Now we learn that somne of these very mer chanis who gave all kirils of promistes whien they were in the kinks, are not acting fair with Captain Cumtnimu and Sate not supportig his boat as they should, which is very wrong. lie' caime to therr when tihey were badly iu nteed, anrd is certainly deserving of thleir support.

Then like a flassh The shivers la:sh From head to feet, A chill complete, And you shake, And you quake. And there's desire For a tire, And something hot Right on the spot To quickly drink, Right here and then You'll never be warm again, Then you have caught it, You have caught it It's the grip. It's in the air It's everywhere; The microbe of the grip Is on another trip, And up and down, 'I'hrough all the town, By night and day, It seeks its prey, And it's the fad d If you are sad, Or even mad, Or if you sneeze, Or cough or wheeze, Or feel too warm, Or chills alarm, To wear a look of grim dismay And hoarsely say: "'I've caught it, I've cuot it It's the grip:"' PIttsburg Chroaicle-Telegraph.
